Join us for some narrowboat terror on the Tidal Thames as we head from Limehouse to Brentford! (hopefully without sinking!). In Part Two, following our outbound journey from Teddington Lock to Limehouse, we turn around and head back on the River Thames, destination the Thames Lock at Brentford, and the Grand Union Canal. With dozens of boats on the river, waves over a metre high crash over the bow of our narrowboat and cause some panic!
Check out Part One from Teddington Lock to Limehouse.

Hey, Shaun? Now I realise it's you that does the captions: thank you, from the bottom of my heart (as a deaf person, I'd not be able to understand anything without the captions). It truly makes a difference to people like me when there's good, reliable captions and not the youtube automatic ones. Thank you!!

Well it took the better part of 10 days but I've gone thru 121 episodes you Foxes Afloat. I've said it a couple of times already, once more won't hurt. Thank you both for sharing your lives with us. What you do and how you do it is truly special. In the early 90's I hitch-hiked all over the UK for just about 18 months and you have brought so many of the good memories back to me. My wife has a request. She is a big history nerd and loves your snippets of canal history. She would love if you could talk just a little about what role canals and canal travel played during WWII.

Wow! That must be one of the fastest catch-ups I've heard of. Well done. Yeah, we do talk about the war in a few episode, a couple more in the coming weeks 👍🏻

My wife and I live in New Zealand. Way back in 1978 I spent a week on the canals. Picked up our boat from the Shropy and went up into Wales on the L*********** Canal and back. Now years later I discovered you both at about vlog 4. We went to the first and caught up. Love what you do and very envious that you have been where I have been and places I didnt get to. Even though it looked very different after 40+ years I did recognise places. Colin, I must say that I think the life you are leading is doing you a world of good. Sure you still have your demons but I think your good times are more frequent and more enjoyable and the confidence you show is great. I know you can edit the bad bits out but I can see the happiness being radiated from you. Ok enough of the soppy stuff. We both love your travels and love the history lesson you give us as you travel the canals. Your travels and happiness has reached all the way to New Zealand. Thank you both for the memories and new adventures.

Well done; that was a heroic trip. When you get back up north don't dangle anything in the Macclesfield canal - the Manchester Evening News reports that "Man hospitalised after being bitten by giant FISH with razor sharp teeth" (Sept 17th). A man tried to recover his sunglasses from the canal and was bitten on the finger by a three foot Pike. They didn't explain how he measured it with his finger hanging off!

I love how calm you both were, especially Sean who I think helps you Colin to manage the scare factor well. You work really well as a team. Brave doesn't begin to describe 2hat you did, but Silver Fox was also a hero, some of those washes were quite deep. However, the scenery was awesome and Tower Bridge was beautifully decorated underneath. Thanks for the ride 😎😍

To travel along the River Thames in a canal boat can be treacherous - people don’t realise how wide and tidal the river can be - Love seeing the City from the river and all the new buildings - I am old enough to remember when the “ Pool of London “ was a hive of activity with boats unloading their goods to go to their respective warehouse - You were very brave to take that journey and obviously happy to be back on a calm and sedate canal - An excellent video - Thanks for posting.

The oddly shaped boat that you pass on 11:48 minutes USED to be the transport barge that belonged to friends of ours! It was converted into the bizarre shape it has now by a London artist, but it sailed the French canals and rivers before that, much in the way you're sailing the British canals and rivers, only with cargo instead of cameras. Great Video (but what a pity you didn't go straight on at Limehouse, the first time! :-))

115 degrees F (46 C) in Arizona, now that's 'Scorchio". Loved that series. BTW. Didn’t want to concern you before you’d made your exit from the Thames, but . . . Several years ago, I had the opportunity to ride on a Thames River Police launch on the Thames, near the Houses of Parliament, and the skipper demonstrated the deadliness of the back current on full tide. He did this by driving the bow of the launch into and touching one of the central bridge piers, facing against the tide, and turned the engine off, and we didn’t move, being forced into the pier by the swirling water. He hastened to point out that if we should capsize, don’t worry about swimming as the tide would drag us under anyway! Sweet dreams!

I've come back for a rewatch of what I call the Tower Bridge days and the end of your time on the Thames. I'd found your channel during this time, and binge watched from the beginning. The first 'caught up' videos were just after Dylan, and the damage from the other boat. At the time I felt immensenly privileged that you two chose to share your journey with us. A couple years on, and your journey continues. I still feel priviledged to be a subscriber, and a member - from the other end of the world in New Zealand. Arohanui.

Hi Shaun and Colin Thank you for your great vlogs. At some point in the future when you get further north on the Grand Union you may be interested in cruising the Wendover Arm to Little Tring. From there you can walk about a mile along the dry canal to see the restoration progress being made. Keep having fun. Steve

Hi Stephen. We've actually passed there now (chasing winter stoppages) but we do include some information about the Wendover Arm on the episode recorded in that area. When we return next year we'd love to dedicate a whole episode to the project.

Many of my favourite vloggers have been down the tidal Thames. In their own right,they are all interesting,either filmed or commented, but your informative journey about names and dates really takes the biscuit. Nailbiting stuff!!!

Another great video. Thanks for sharing. I've been wondering about Otis. Tell him his fans said 'Welcome back'. Don't worry, y'all all share the same fans. We all enjoy your adventures. I will have to take some time to watch the real time videos. Should be entertaining.

Now to relax in calmer waters , you both did very well handling the wash from other river traffic , and watch out for that sun burn , hope you use protective lotion . Perhaps an open canopy over the back maybe to protect you from the sun ?? . Yet again another great vlog and a happy Saturday morning for me take care .

Whatever the week may have delivered, there’s a wonderful pause in it every Friday now when I catch up with your adventures, your superb videography and music choices, your humour and warmth. Seeing buildings, bridges and scenery from the boat viewpoint, and with the added bonus of facts and info is great; an alternative travellers guide in some respects! Hope you enjoyed a few days ‘off’ after the rather bouncy looking Thames! Looking forward to exploring the Grand Union with you :)
